Crab Soup
7:35 AMI've never made crab soup before and lately I've been thinking about making it for the first time. Since the hubs is deployed, and he tends to not prefer soup, I decided I'd go ahead and make it before he comes home. This is a Paula Deen recipe and I chose to lighten it with half-and-half and fat free milk, which I what I normally have on hand. I also had to substitute the fish stock for chicken stock - definitely couldn't find (or make) fish stock here. Reviewers recommended clam juice as a substitute, but I couldn't find that either. Other than that, this was pretty good! I used a 1 pound can of crab meat, as the recipe states, and there is a ton of crab in each bite! If crab happens to be a bit expensive for your budget, I'm sure using half of it would still be enough. And best of all - this was a breeze to make, only taking a few minutes. It definitely tastes like much more effort was put into this dish, and I love any recipe that is like that - makes me pretend that I can actually cook! The verdict? An easy, must try dish that is sure to impress.
